Inquiry-Based Approach
Inquiry-based teaching is a pedagogical approach that invites students to explore academic content
by posing, investigating, and answering questions. Also known as problem-based teaching or simply as
‘inquiry,’ this approach puts students’ questions at the center of the curriculum, and places just as much
value on the component skills of research as it does on knowledge and understanding of content.
The role of the teacher in an inquiry-based classroom is quite different from that of a teacher in a
conventional classroom. Instead of providing direct instruction to students, teachers help students generate
their own content-related questions and guide the investigation that follows.

Project-Based Approach
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an
extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or
challenge.
Project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach designed to give students the opportunity to
develop knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around challenges and problems they may face in the
real world.
Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages
them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and
skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience.
In PBL, the teacher designs, guides, mentors, teaches, and evaluates—but also incorporates creative
insights, student wisdom, and opportunities to produce new knowledge.

Problem-Based Approach
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a style of teaching that encourages students to become the drivers of their learning process. Problem-based learning involves complex
learning issues from real-world problems and makes them the classroom’s topic of discussion; encouraging students to understand concepts through problem-solving skills rather
than simply learning facts.
PBL is not only helpful in learning course content, but it can also promote the development of problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and communication skills
while providing opportunities to work in groups, find and analyze research materials, and take part in life-long learning.
In the problem-based learning process, the teacher prepares the problem or scenario,
motivates the students, checks the students’ solutions, and helps the students to overcome these
problems when they have problems at the point of progress for the solution.

Research-Based Approach
In a research-based learning approach, students actively search for and then use multiple
resources, materials, and texts in order to explore important, relevant, and interesting
questions and challenges. They find, process, organize and evaluate information and ideas as
they build reading skills and vocabulary. They learn how to read for understanding, form
interpretations, develop and evaluate hypotheses, and think critically and creatively. They
learn how to solve problems, challenges, and dilemmas. Finally, they develop
communication skills through writing and discussion.
Teachers play a key role in the success of research-based instruction by engaging and
involving students in information gathering and processing. While teachers might
occasionally provide information through lectures, and textbooks are used as a source of
information, there is an emphasis placed on students learning how to seek out and process
resources themselves.
